Lots of startups attempting this, two big ones being Retool and Airtable doing almost exactly what you describe.

For an open source alternative try something like Budibase or Baserow.

Could this also be an open source replacement for Airtable?

Have you looked at Retool? Pretty sure this is the exact use case they built it for.

Looks like Airtable. Also no-code, like Budibase above.
